Keith has proved to be the tougher nut and his healing is proceeding well so we will be back in action soon.

We are very much looking forward to returning to the Carl Sandburg Historic Site in Galesburg, IL on Sunday, November 12 at 4 pm. Galesburg is a lovely town and we are always happy to be among fellow poetry aficionados.

I have long admired Sandburg’s poems but the last time we visited, I learned so much about the man that I had never known before:

He was honored by the NAACP with their Silver Plaque Award as a “major prophet of civil rights in our time.”

He is regarded by some as the first American urban folk singer, accompanying himself on solo guitar at lectures and poetry recitals, and in recordings, long before either of the major folk revival movements.
